Gifcurry is an open-source video editor for GIF makers built in Haskell, offering a GTK GUI, a CLI, and a library API. It converts videos to GIFs (or videos) with cropping, trimming, text overlays, subtitles, size/FPS/color controls, and dithering.

Use cases

  • convert a video clip into an animated gif
  • crop and trim a gif from a movie scene
  • add text captions or subtitles to a gif
  • create an animated demo gif for a README or pull request
  • make a custom animated emoji for Slack
  • save a gif as a video instead

When to choose

  • you want a lightweight, non-Electron desktop tool for making GIFs on Linux or Mac
  • you need both a GUI and a scriptable CLI for GIF creation
  • you want text overlays, cropping, and subtitle support when converting video to GIF

When to avoid

  • you need a full-featured general-purpose video editor
  • you require Windows support or a polished cross-platform installer
  • you need actively developed software with recent releases
